The people from Dragon Peak were absolutely confused when they saw the airdrop containers, including Thiago.Watching the containers descend toward their base, Thiago quickly said, "Everyone, stand down. There might be something dangerous inside."Since the containers were directly above the base, it would surely damage their structures when the containers landed, which was why Thiago did not ask for them to be shot down.Due to the wind's speed and direction, the containers' movements were constantly shifting. Somewhere inside the rainforest, Gloria was keeping an eye on the wind's speed and direction, so when she saw these changes, she quickly said, "The wind's getting stronger. We don’t have much time left."Adrian immediately ordered, "Alan, Lucas, Steel, shoot down those parachutes and have the remote at the ready. We're opening the containers the minute they land on the enemy base.""Yes, sir!" The trio waved, and their men who had been hiding near the rear-end mountains b
Steel and the others, who were on the mountain roads, gave out the order and said, "All units, protect our vanguards!""Charge!""Charge!"Ra-ta-ta-ta!!!Bullets were being fired from all directions.With the onslaught, large numbers of Dragon Peak soldiers gathered outside their base fell dead before they even knew what happened. "We're under attack! Return fire now!" Thiago yelled as he turned around, seeing his enemies emerging from the rainforest.As he yelled, Thiago saw a figure closing in on him, and fast. Without any time to react, his jaw dropped as he recognized the person getting closer and closer to him. He yelled, "War Legate Draco! I can explain…"Yet, Adrian arrived and immediately swung his dagger, and Thiago's head rolled.After eliminating Thiago, Adrian yelled, "I've taken Thiago down! The rest of you, lay down your weapons if you want to live!"The sound of gunshots providing cover for Adrian and his team continued. Blaze, Wildfire, Nyssa, Jenine, and the
Flynn was Griffin's senior from training camp, and they both held important roles in Wyvern Peak. With the addition of his men, the entire unit was strengthened. When the others saw him, they yelled, "Welcome back, Flynn!" More than two thousand men, including Flynn, joined the fight with daggers in hand. They shouted strenuously as they battled the enemies.When Gloria saw the situation, she quickly said through the communicator, "Firestorm, take the injured to the helicopter now. The rest of you, provide cover fire and protect the helicopter until it takes off."Firestorm, who was inside the rainforest, yelled, "Go!"The unit in hiding charged out of the rainforest and headed straight for the helicopter. Everyone quickly dispersed and provided long-range cover for the ones heading for the helicopter. Mya, Ivy, and the other women surrounded the helicopter in a defensive formation in case any enemies showed up. In less than five minutes, Firestorm brought Berserk, Ridge, and
Adrian's right arm was drenched in blood. The shrapnel from the fireball pierced and tore open his muscles, causing it to bleed non-stop. While assessing his injuries, Mya yelled, "Lena! Help him!" Lena carried her medical kit over to Adrian and bent down. She took out bandages and various medical equipment. Mya turned around. "Cover us!" A group of people surrounded Adrian while Lena used her tweezers to remove the shrapnel in Adrian's arm. "Why would you do something so foolish? Do you not want your arm anymore?"Adrian's arm was trembling vigorously from the pain. He sat up and said, "We've been tricked, Mya.""What?" Mya was slightly startled. "Have everyone end the battle now. This is our last chance, or we're all going to die on this island."Mya began to panic, but instead of asking questions, she shouted into her communicator, "Everyone, wrap it up!”Everyone continued to do their best when they heard this, and the battle ended after another thirty minutes. Everyo
The most critical moment of their Serpent's Haven operation had arrived, and their lives now depended on whether they could get on the last flight in time. And the chances of that happening were close to zero. After a moment of silence, Lucas said, "I'm really sorry, sir. This is all happening because of us."“What are you saying?” Adrian shot a glance at Lucas. “Is that all you're capable of? What you need to do right now is to come up with a way to get everyone on that plane as quickly as you can instead of feeling apologetic."Lucas quickly replied, "I'm sorry. Let's put our heads down and come up with a solution. Where's the plane? We need to know this before we make any plans."Mya said, "So what if you know where the plane is? The Eight Hollows already know where we are. They must've arranged for a suicide squad to stop us along the way and force us to waste enough time for them to leave before we can get there."Her concern was indeed worth thinking about, and everyone s
"Which is why we need to locate the manual detonators and think of a way to get rid of those as well."Everyone exchanged looks for a moment before Gloria said, "If this manual detonator is somewhere inside their base, we could blow the entire place apart and the detonator along with it. But if it's outside the base, it'll be a lot more troublesome because we’d have no way of finding out where it is." That was true. They needed to be absolutely sure if they wanted the plan to go off without a hitch. The slightest misstep would cause their mission to end in failure. Right at that moment, Mya's eyes twinkled. She snapped her fingers and said, "If we kidnap their leader, they wouldn't dare detonate the switch and blow the entire island apart."Everyone agreed with her idea. It seemed like their only option was to get their leader to stay behind on the island.Adrian seemed to have thought of something and said, "Crystal, can you find out just how many of the Eight Hollows are on th
This was their final mission in Serpent's Haven, and they had to take the risk to ensure their survival. This was their one and only chance.Everyone clenched their fists, waiting for Adrian to give them his final order. He turned around and looked at Flynn. "I need you to stay behind with Lucas. I'll contact you once we have news."Flynn nodded, not objecting to his instructions. After that, Adrian finally said, "All right. Based on what I heard earlier, the plane is somewhere to the north of us. Let's all get there as quickly as we can.“Are you all ready?""Ready!" Everyone replied. "Let’s go! Ha-hoo!!!" Steel, Blaze, Ivy, Gloria, Mya, and the others dashed toward the north as quickly as they could. They split into five squads with a buddy system in place. Since moving around in large numbers would attract attention, they were to move through the rainforest in pairs, making it easier for them to conceal themselves from their enemies. Gloria was the fastest among them, disa
Men in Dragon Peak battle suits surrounded the base.Meanwhile, several squads were rushing toward this place from the rainforest far away, ready to board the plane. There were more than twenty generators on the outskirts of the base, supplying the place with electricity. There were even facilities providing radio frequency signals.Based on all this, it was clear that the base was built for a purpose, and had been established a long time ago.A few staff members were inside the command center of the base, hastily packing their stuff into boxes before loading them onto the plane. It was clear they were fleeing the place. A middle-aged man in a Dragon Peak battle suit stood inside the base. He had on a dragon-shaped mask that concealed his might. His heavy masculine temperament was of a Novemton citizen, making others fear him even if they were looking at him from afar. This man was one of Wyvern Peak's Eight Hollows, Ariel Chapman, codenamed Abyss.Ariel had carried the mantle
